\nEngineering Night Saturday, featuring a six division racing program.
\nWhelen sponsors NASCAR\u2019s weekly racing series at tracks across the
\ncountry. Picking up wins in Whelen All-American Series action included
\nKyle James of Ashaway, RI who dominated the SK Modified\u00ae feature, Keith
\nRocco of Berlin won for the seventh time of the year in the Valenti Auto
\nMall Late Models and Josh Galvin of Franklin picked up his eighth Street
\nStock victory. Other NASCAR wins went to Ken Cassidy Jr. of Lisbon, who
\nreturned to the winner\u2019s circle in the Mini Stocks and Paul French of
\nAndover checkered the SK Light Modified race. Mike Christopher Jr. of
\nWolcott won another INEX Legend Cars race rounding out the night\u2019s
\nvictors.
\n<\/p>\n
\nModified\u00ae feature, his second of the season. The win was by nearly a five
\nsecond margin, almost half the track, ahead of the competition. James
\ntook the lead on the outside of Jeff Gallup following the only caution
\nflag of the race, which came on lap-8.<\/p>\n
\nKusheba from the start. Diego Monahan moved past Kusheba into second and
\nJames followed to third in the opening green flag run. That ended when
\nMonahan lost control of his car in turn three, spinning from second
\nposition to bring out the lone yellow flag for the single car spin. James
\nlined up outside Gallup for the restart, timed the green flag nearly
\nperfectly, and powered into the lead out of turn two.<\/p>\n
\nfrom Gallup on lap-12, only to turn the position over to Rob Janovic Jr. a
\nlap later. Keith Rocco was on the move, slicing through the field to take
\nthird spot on lap-16. He closed in on Janovic, diving underneath into
\nsecond position on lap-20. Ahead, James\u2019 lead was already over three
\nseconds. He was on cruise control and Rocco was unable to cut into the
\nlead. Over the final laps James actually increased his lead as he closed
\nin on the tail of the field. Rocco finished runner-up and Janovic was
\nthird. Tyler Chadwick was fourth and Ed Puleo finished fifth.<\/p>\n
\na hard fought battle with Nick Sowa, a first year driver in the division.
\nSowa held the lead until Rocco moved in and challenged, pulling inside
\nSowa on lap-7. The pair raced side-by-side for five laps in a great duel
\nuntil Rocco got away on lap-12. Rocco slowly stretched his lead through a
\nlap-28 caution flag when Jeff Smith spun out of fourth position, setting
\nup a wild finish behind the leader.<\/p>\n
\nothers directly behind. Rocco was not challenged on the next restart and
\nwent on to his seventh win of the year in the division. Smith was able to
\navoid the late trouble to rebound from his lap-28 spin to finish second.
\nBruce Thomas Jr. also overcame a rough time in the feature to place third.<\/p>\n
\n25-lap Street Stock feature. Al Stone III, a two-time champion, looked
\npoised to slow Galvin\u2019s hot streak in the division. Stone moved out front
\nfollowing a lap-9 restart and then held back Galvin\u2019s outside bid over the
\nnext 12 laps, much of which featured clean side-by-side racing between the
\ntwo. A late caution flag with two laps remaining, however, reset the
\nfield for a final restart just after Stone had shaken Galvin from his
\noutside. The restart enabled Galvin to once again run outside Stone for
\nthe final two lap sprint to the finish. Out of turn four on the final
\nlap, Galvin won the drag race to the checkered flag by inches in a photo
\nfinish. Stone settled for second and Monte Gibbs finished third.<\/p>\n
\nevent. He ended a dry spell which dated back to May 31 to record his
\nfourth victory of the season. Cassidy, the division\u2019s all-time wins
\nleader, moved up through the field and took the lead on lap-12, never
\nlooking back. Garrett Denton moved into second position following a
\nlap-15 restart but had nothing for Cassidy. He finished second and Joe
\nLiskiewicz was third after leading early. Two yellow flags slowed the
\nrace.<\/p>\n
\nthe SK Light Modifieds. The 25-lap race was non-stop and French led from
\nthe green to checkered flags. Rick Williams finished second to record his
\nbest finish since winning the season opener, and Larry Goss was third.<\/p>\n
\npiling up the accolades. The 25-lap race marked his fourth consecutive
\nvictory in the track\u2019s Saturday series for the division, and seventh
\noverall on Saturday\u2019s for the year. Combined with his wins in the
\nSpeedbowl\u2019s Wild \u2018n Wacky Wednesday series Christopher has won 15 times in
\n2014. He took the lead from Dana Dimatteo on lap-8 in another non-stop
\nfeature. Dimatteo ended up second and George Whitney finished third.<\/p>\n
\npopular weekends at the track each year. The NEMA Midgets visit for the
\nShane Hammond Memorial, plus vintage racing clubs NEAR and STAR turn back
\ntime for fans with displays and exhibition races. The NASCAR Whelen
